Chapter 68 North Gate Bachelor

"In the past, there were emperors in the Jin Dynasty. They were old and had no heirs. They were anxious. Later, they were happy to have a son and were very happy. They entertained the ministers with soup cakes. During the banquet, there were flattering officials who got up and thanked the sun: 'I congratulate the saint on getting a son, and we are ashamed to be rewarded without merit!' The emperor said; "What are you saying? How can this matter make you meritorious?' It seems that such a person who doesn't distinguish the situation and is careless, can't he be happy? Hahaha..."

Maybe it's because Luoyang is approaching, or maybe it's the reason why he gets along well with Li Xian. Li Xian is really in a good mood. Unexpectedly, he changed his previous steady nature and actually said jokes without taboos - after a while after Hangu Pass, Li Xian and Li Xian, the two brothers are in the same car and food are in the same seat, talking about everything. They are close to each other's political opinions, but the relationship is very close. It's not too much to say that it's a blend.

"Haha..., shouldn't the sixth brother also have the wish to make contributions? Hahaha..."

Li Xian has experienced people. As soon as he heard the beginning of Li Xian's joke, he knew that Li Xian was talking about the funny story of Emperor Jin Yuan and his minister Yin Xian. He didn't think how funny this joke was. Originally, when he was in the officialdom of later generations, Li Xian had never heard any kind of jokes. If he really wanted to make such jokes, it would be three. It can't be said for three days and nights, and every one is more wonderful than what Li Xian said. However, in order to be able to cooperate with Li Xian, although there is no smile, Li Xian still does not hesitate to laugh. He not only has to laugh, but also has to tease Li Xian.

"If it's convenient, why don't you make a contribution? Hey hey, don't you want to be the seventh brother?" Li Xian made a grimace with a big smile and criticized Li Xian.

"Little brother..."

Li Xian originally wanted to have a good relationship with Li Xian, and he was happy to talk and laugh with him. Hearing Li Xian making fun of himself in turn, he couldn't help laughing. Just as he wanted to have fun again, he suddenly realized that the carriage had stopped and couldn't help stopping.

"The North Gate Bachelor Li Shi, Yan Chaoyin respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness the King of Lu and the King of Zhou!"

As soon as Li Xian's words stopped, a high-sounding voice sounded not far away. At that time, Li Xian and his two men couldn't help but be dumbfounded. They didn't know what the North Gate bachelor was, and they didn't understand why the two so-called bachelors didn't have any common sense of etiquette, and they didn't even see the faces of the two, so He roared and reported to the door. It was rude to say that such behavior was light, but it was too heavy.

"Seventh brother, this North Gate bachelor is..."

Li Xian frowned and thought for a long time and didn't understand when such an institution came out in the court. He had no choice but to turn his inquiring eyes to Li Xian.

"I don't know, sixth brother, I'll know when I see you."

Li Xian did not know the root of the North Gate bachelor, but Li Xian knew it in his heart, not only the number, but also hated it. Just because the North Gate bachelor was a murderous knife in the hands of the Empress Wu. In the previous life, the Empress Wu collected a large number of shameless civil servants, known as the North Gate Bachelor, which caused trouble until the Empress Wu. When he ascended the throne, he didn't know how many ministers were framed by this group of shameless people. Li Xian also suffered a lot of these scoundrels. Up to now, he still remembered that he was still in his heart. Of course, it was impossible for such a secretive Li Xianzi to talk to Li Xian. He could only pretend to shrug his shoulders and replied indifferently.

"Well, let's take a look."

Li Xian thought about it and didn't think it was a big deal, so he no longer talked too much. He nodded and answered. Li Xian raised the curtain, bowed his waist and got off the carriage. Li Xian saw this and followed him silently before he landed. He saw a large group of low-level officials surrounded by two intermediate officials. The middle-aged man is standing in front of the Wuli Pavilion next to the road. His left hand has a high face and a round face, and three long beards float with the wind. He is quite outstanding and not a gentleman. His right hand is of medium-sized, with a white and short beard, and a reunion like a rich man.

It's really these two vicious dogs! Li Xian only glanced at it and recognized the roots of the two middle-aged officials. The tall one on the left was Li Shi, and the fat one on the right was Yan Chaoyin. Both of them came from a poor family. Three years ago, they were originally middle-aged and low-level people. Just before Gaozong Linxing Luoyang this year, both of them were just nine-grade officials. But now they have actually put on the clothes of six-grade officials. I'm afraid that the speed of promotion is the fastest since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but this is not the reason why Li Xian hates these two people. What really makes Li Xian crooked is the meaning of these two people appearing here!

Is it a demonstration or a deterrent? I'm afraid there are both, but this queen is really not worry-free! As soon as Li Xian saw Li and Yan, the most shameless people among the North Gate bachelors, appear in Wuli Pavilion, he vaguely guessed the intention of the Empress Wu sent them to welcome them, but he did not intend to remind Li Xian, but silently watched coldly.

"Li Shi (Yan Chaoyin), a bachelor from the North Gate of the lower official, welcomed the two highnesses according to the order of the empress." Li and Yan waited for a moment, but they didn't see Li Xian's reaction. They had to take a step forward and report themselves again.

"Thank you for your hard work. I don't know why no one comes to the Ministry of Ceremonies?" Although Li Xian once supported the Empress Wu on the matter of Fengchan Taishan, he still had a problem with the Empress Wu. Hearing that the two so-called bachelors were sent by the Empress Wu, he immediately surged up with dishepticism in his heart, but it was not easy to attack on the spot, so he frowned slightly and said.

It was normal for Li Xian to ask this question, but in front of the two North Gate bachelors, he couldn't help scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk. Sure enough, as soon as Li Xian's voice fell, Li and Yan's faces changed a little. They looked at each other quickly and looked at each other from each other's eyes. I saw the color of resentment and anger, but in front of the two princes, I can't tolerate them being presumptuous. No matter how much anger there is, I can only bear it.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. The empress is still waiting in the palace. I don't know if your highness has any instructions?" Yan Chaoyin's temperament was obviously smoother than Li Shi's. Although he was also angry with Li Xian's eyes, the smile on his face quickly appeared, accompanied by a smile, and asked humbly.

"Humph!" Li Xian's heart has always been very high. Although his temperament has been much calmer than usual these days, after all, the country is easy to change, and his nature is really difficult to change. Seeing that Yan Chaoyin's words were so obvious that he moved out of martial arts and then suppressed people, he suddenly became angry and snorted coldly, and he was about to attack.

"Brother Six, it's not appropriate to let your mother wait for a long time. It's good for you and my brother to leave." Li Xian didn't want to see Li Xian lose his share because he was calculating with such a little person, so he said something in time.

"Well, that's good." Li Xian didn't pay attention to the so-called North Gate Bachelor on Li and Yan's heads at all, but he had to give Li Xian face. Hearing Li Xian's words to remind him, it was not easy to lose his temper again, but he didn't look at Li and Yan's good face. He snorted indifferently, brushed his sleeves, turned around and got into the carriage, not to mention Li and Yan said hello, but they didn't even look at them.

"Thank you two adults to come to meet you. Brother Wang is very grateful and ask you to show me the way. Thank you very much." As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to hate the villain. These two villains in front of him are all ten villains. Although Li Xian is not afraid, he does not want to offend him in vain. Since Li Xian sang black face, Li Xian naturally has to sing red face.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Your Highness, please!"

Although Li and Yan have joined the ranks of intermediate officials, in fact, they are all newcomers in the court. Except for the backer of the Empress Wu, they really don't have much foundation. What they need most at this time is the respect of others. At this time, seeing that Li Xian is so polite, they have a good impression in their hearts and hurriedly retreated a little. He bowed respectfully and said back.

"It's up to you two."

Li Xian politely bowed his hand and nodded with a smile. Then he turned around and got into the carriage. For a moment, after a little adjustment, the team once again set out for Luoyang City in the distance.

"Seventh brother, what is this North Gate bachelor? Why are you so messing around, huh!" Li Xian was really dissatisfied with Yan Chaoyin's words. He sat in the car with a black face and was silent for a long time. It was not until the carriage started that he couldn't help saying something.

"Sixth brother, I don't know what's wrong with it. I guess it should be a new institution set up by the mother. As for the rest, I dare not guess randomly." Although Li Xian knew the intention of setting up the North Gate Bachelor after Wu, and also knew the purpose of such an institution, he did not intend to break through the truth so early. At this time, when Li Xian heard the question, he just replied perfunctorily.

"Nonsense, the court institution is a social weapon. How can it be a joke? I really don't know my father..." Li Xian has already regarded Li Xian as a reliable confidant, and naturally there is no scruples when he speaks. In his words, he not only criticizes the Wu Hou's nonsense, but also sweeps Gao Zong in.

"Sixth brother, father Shengming, you will have your own ideas!" Li Xian didn't want Li Xian to criticize Gao Zong too casually, which interrupted Li Xian's words with a solemn face.

"Humph!" After being interrupted by Li Xian, Li Xian also realized that his words were extremely inappropriate, but he did not want to admit his mistake face to face. He snorted angrily and said nothing with a cold face.

Well, little sample, my temper hasn't changed much! As soon as Li Xian saw Li Xian's angry look, he couldn't help laughing in his heart. However, he didn't want Li Xian to hate him, so he smiled and nodded, "Sixth brother, such a bastard as a North Gate bachelor is really unlikable, but I'm afraid that someone is more unhappy than your brother. If the sixth brother is really right. Fu Qi, but you don't have to go out in person. Why do you need to dirty your hands and let others plan it? Just play the drums.

"Do you play side drums? Ha, the seventh brother can really think about it, that's all right!" Li Xian was not stupid. As soon as he heard it, he understood the meaning of Li Xian's words. He couldn't help picking up the corners of his mouth. First, he smiled slightly, and then couldn't help laughing...
